You know what you'll never have to do to an electric vehicle?
Replace a stolen catalytic converter.
Makes me wonder when battery theft will become a thing.
They weight like half a tonne. It's unlikely to become common.
Maybe as common as ATM machine thefts that do happen rarely.
But they're not worth nearly as much.
Easier just to steal the car at that point
The batteries literally weighs a ton, so that means they'd have to steal the whole car first then part it out. Just like any other chop shop parts crime.
Too heavy, too integrated into the design. Might as well worry about people stealing your transmission or rack & pinion (TFW: that's what your car uses to translate 'turning the wheel' into turning the wheels).
It won't.
